KIT WOO
Fashion Designer and Founder of Kit Woo Enterprise
A young man from a small town making waves in Malaysia's burgeoning fashion industry, Kit Woo is an enterprising fashion designer and the founder of his eponymous label, Kit Woo. A top graduate in apparel design and merchandising at First Media School, Singapore, Kit's mysterious, enigmatic and original point of view was always apparent. The Kuantan-born designer ventured to America, where he attended Pratt Institute and majored in Fashion Design.
When Kit initially shared his ambitions with his parents, his father had reservations about his career choice, concerned it would not be lucrative. Meanwhile, his mother was a steady source of encouragement. Although Kit's had limited exposure to fashion in his youth, he knew design was his calling. "My father's views also began to change as he started to see my work appear in the news," Kit mentions warmly. The devoted son remains grateful to his parents for sending him abroad and not forbidding him from creative pursuits.
As a fresh graduate, Kit jumped at the chance to volunteer as a backstage dresser for Zang Toi at New York Fashion Week, always proactive about chasing opportunities and entering various design competitions. "Back then, the biggest celebrity I dressed was Mikky Ekko. My clothes went to Los Angeles, and it was exciting," Kit says proudly, referring to the recording artist featured on Rihanna's 2013 single "Stay".
